Bergisuchus dietrichbergi

Wikipedia Abstract

Bergisuchus is an extinct genus of sebecosuchian mesoeucrocodylian. Fossils have been found from the Eocene Messel Pit in Germany. Bergisuchus was originally classified as a sebecosuchian, supposedly the first to be found outside South America, and later assigned to Trematochampsidae in 1988. Later that year it was reclassified as a basal baurusuchid. In 2000, the genus was given its own family, Bergisuchidae.
